California Pictures 3

All right, here's the last of them.
Well, the next day we went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. We were afraid they might be closed, since it was Forth of July, but just the contrary: They were having a huge celebration! I'm not going to put too many pictures because I'm getting sick of uploading them all.

The Next few days we spent with the entire Kingsbury Family.

So all in all, I had a really good time. Thanks again to Grandma, Grandpa, Tami, Scott, Traci, and Jared for being willing to put up with me!

Okay, I am really sorry about how long it's taken me to post the second half of my trip to California. But I'm here now, and here it is.


Let's see... Tuesday was when we drove up from Tami's to Traci's (every one of my dad's siblings' names start with T, by the way. That's where the T in JT comes from- my dad's name, Timothy, is my middle name.) We hung out with Traci and Ian and Jared and some friends of theirs.

Ian showing off his cool moves on his scooter.
Jared pushing Ian on the Swing Grandma, Grandpa, and ColinAnd one of the best pictures of Colin I got. Isn't he cute? The next day we went down to Hollywood to see UP at the El Capitan theatre. Before we went to the movie, though, we went through Hollywood!

Ian playing in the water The Hollywood sign.Some weirdos who grabbed me and got my grandma to take a picture of me with them.
We saw all the stars, and we were right in the middle of the Micheal Jackson craze.

Here's all the junk people left near his star.Here's his star with Candles and Wax all over it.Here's the view from across the street.Then we went to the Disney Soda Fountain, right next to the theatre.Here's Ian.And Ian and Traci And here's the bar.And here's the Organist of the Year, playing the warfloncontraption idon'trememberwhatit'scalled (Sorry to all you organ fans. I didn't even know there was a Organist of the Year) before the movie


The next day we took Ian miniature golfing. He putted the ball into 18 holes for a total score of exactly 100. Grandpa won, then Grandma, then me.
He had taken to calling me "Uncle Jarom" by this point, even after grandma pointed out that I wasn't that old. Even my 4-year-old cousin thinks I'm older than I am! (He also followed me everywhere. It was fun sometimes, but sometimes I took to hiding from him.)
Here's me... and grandpa in the foreground.
Here's Ian Golfing.
That night we had Grandma's Birthday Party.
Traci got her this purse. When I saw it, I thought "That just screams Grandma Norris!"

We also went to the Bounce house, but I won't put any pictures of that. Needless to say, Ian wore me out. I'll cut it here.

I'm Finally back from California. I had a blast! Before I start telling what happened, I want to say THANK YOU to Grandma, Grandpa, Tami, Traci, and everyone else who helped make this happen.


Okay, so day one, Friday, we drove up all day. Boring. Tedious. I did finish my Ender's Game homework though. And I played Gameboy a bit. And that's about it. We got to Tami's late that night and talked about what we would do, and Connor showed me all his stuff and the house and all, and that's about it.

Here's Connor's Office. Don't we all wich we had a space like that?




Here's their Dog, Teddy. Named like the Teddy from the Magic Tree House series
Day two, Saturday, we went to Sea World. It was awesome, and we went and saw all the shows, including the Pet's Rule show and the Sea Lions Tonite show, which made fun of all the other shows, but I didn't get pictures of those ones.

We saw the Sea Lions beg for food.

They were really funny.



And we saw the Dolphins

(It's looking right at me...)
And then we saw the Dolphin show.And the Polar Bears.And the Beluga Whales
(He's Glowing!)
And we saw the Shamu Believe Show. That was cool.
We went on some rides.
And to top it all off, we saw Shamu Rocks. It was this big light show with music and Killer Whales!
Next Day, Sunday, we just hung out most of the day, went to church, all that good stuff. After dinner I went to see Geoff and Anna and Lincoln and Hari.

It was hard to get good pictures of the two.
Big Happy Family!

Next Day, Monday, we went to the Zoo! You already saw most of the good pictures from that, but here's a few I wanted to add:
The Cool Hedge out front Tami and Connor

I call this one "A Long Days Work"


And aren't these the cutest?
I'm just weird like that.


This is funny
Tami's ward does every other FHE at the beach, so we were able to go and do that.And I got pictures of the beautiful San Diego Temple.

And I'm going to end this post right here because it's getting to hard to manage the whole thing with all the pictures.
